Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? . . . There's nothing enlight ened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. . . As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liber ated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
